Rare, Refined Japanese Pu-erh Tea from Japan
Saryu Soso is a beautifully aromatic and remarkably smooth Japanese Pu-erh tea, unlike any traditional Chinese counterpart. Made with fermented green tea leaves grown in Shizuoka, it’s crafted through a proprietary 80-hour fermentation process in a high-tech clean room—a method rarely used in tea production. This unique technique results in a tea with a mellow earthiness, soft roasted aroma, and a clean, slightly sweet finish. With no bitterness, and exceptional clarity, Saryu Soso is ideal for daily enjoyment, both hot and cold.
Each package contains 30 individually wrapped tea bags, making it convenient and easy to incorporate into your wellness routine.
Tasting Notes
Mild and smooth with earthy body. Gentle sweetness and light roasted aroma. Exceptionally clean finish with no bitterness.
Health Benefits
Saryu Soso has been recognized in Japan for its unique functional properties. It contains 1.7 times more tannic acid than traditional Chinese Pu-erh, supporting digestive balance and fat metabolism. Developed with Shizuoka University using a patented fermentation process, this tea also contains Teadenol, a rare compound associated with improved skin clarity and resilience. While individual results may vary, Saryu Soso has become a popular daily tea for those looking to support both inner and outer wellness.
How to Brew Saryu Soso
(Hot Brew)
Use 1 tea bag with 8 oz (240 ml) of hot water at 175°F (80°C). Steep for 60–120 seconds depending on your preferred strength.
(Cold Brew)
Use 2–3 tea bags with 30 oz (900 ml) of cold water. Steep in the refrigerator overnight (or at least 3 hours). Stir gently, strain, and enjoy cold.
Pop Tip: Cold brewing brings out a smoother, slightly sweeter profile that’s easy to sip all day.
